Well got 6 days off...and went for my first hunt tonight...the weathers got a touch of the scurvy...but the leaves are changing and it feels like fall...it feels pretty safe weather wise to get on the moose. didnt shoot nothing but had a got a staulk on a moose we couldnt determine whether it was a cow or spiker and it got the juices flowing. saw a whitey buck and a mulie buck chillin together like buddies which is somewhat rare...I called it right away but its easy to see how a mistake could be made if a guy got all carried away. it was awesome to get out for the first time this year...heading out tomorow and tuesday...you'll be one of the first to know if we're successful...really looking forward to headin out for elk on the forth

With all this rain and colder temps just be good hunting. Though have to go deep to find the moose now with all the pressure from opener. Have been chatting up the local moose camps around my area of work and everyone is seeing wolves.. Make sure you do your part, whack em and stack em:-D

Good Luck

Just out last nite looking for a bull moose.....didn't see a damn one but my calling (yes i realize it's kinda early, but ya never know so blow me) sure stirred up the puppies!
They came in, but got too dark....
Hitting .1000 so far on trips toward TR on wolves....explains my few moose sightings.

dude a cow full on bawled last night on the block we were on...its really chilly so i dunno...weird i dont think it was a tending grunt because...no calf...i dunno... i cow called right away back to see what would happen but it got dark as hell so im just confused about the whole thing...whatever i guess bro...animals use the same sounds all year so we just dont understand em...s'all good..every a-hole out there says that he knows all about all animals and why they call is exactly that ...an a-hole i do lots of calling and ive had some weird experiences...cheers whitetailsheds ....im so brokenhearted about that wolf today....but we brought home a moose so whatever..it says youre from dawson...do you know ron basset?
